Cable Management Procedures

Sound cable management practices help data centers function smoothly and reliably. Managers can implement a variety of procedures to minimize data center inefficiencies, such as slow troubleshooting and interruptions due to the unplugging the wrong equipment.) Well managed cable supports server performance and throughput, minimizes disruptions and downtime, and safeguards the integrity of cables and […]

Fact Sheet Multimode Fiber

Which fiber cable to use? Which value to measure? Which length to get? This fact sheet provides practical answers without devoting to the theoretical background. Started fiber optic cable for data installations with OM1, now there is already OM5. Started Ethernet over fiber with 100BaseLX, now there are dozens of different protocols. What does the […]

Which is the best for you? AOC vs DAC vs Structured Cabling

AOC (Active Optical Cables) and DAC (Direct Attach Cables are both preassembled modules with cable, they are used in the data center and enterprise networks, AOCs and DACs are plug and play, allowing the existing cabling resources to upgrade without installing new fiber optic normally the DACs and AOCs are with standard cable lengths and […]

Fiber Optic Transceivers – Should You Buy Third Party SFP+ Modules?

The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 16 Gbit/s. The SFP+ specification was first published on May 9, 2006, and version 4.1 published on July 6, 2009. SFP+ supports 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Optical Transport Network standard OTU2. It […]

Inspect and Clean High Density MPO/MTP Connector

Before you install the MPO connectors in the data cnter, it is essential that all the fiber end-faces and the ferrule are really clean. especially when you thinking about lining up 12, 16, 24 or 32 pieces of 9um fibers in one or two rows, it requires tremendous precision. Any dirts in the mix on […]

Introduction to 400G QSFP-DD Optical Transceivers

The QSFP form factor is today’s industry workhorse for delivering 40 and 100GbE. The “Q” is for “quad” — a nod to the four-channel electrical interface, with each lane running at 25 Gbps for 100GbE. QSFP-DD adapts the same basic concept as its predecessor, but doubles the electrical contact density, via eight differential pairs capable […]

Introduction to SFP-DD Optical Transceivers

SFP-DD is short for SFP Double Densty, it is a new module and cage/connector system similar to current SFP module, but with an additional row of contacts providing for a two lane electrical interface. It is being developed by the SFP-DD MSA as a key part of the industry’s effort to enable high-speed solutions. The […]

Introduction to OSFP Optical Transceiver

OSFP is short for Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable. it is being designed to use eight electrical lanes and each lane for 50GBE to deliver 400GbE. compared with QSFP transceiver, It is slightly wider and deeper, but it still supports 36 OSFP ports per 1U front panel, enabling 14.4 Tbps per 1U. OSFP is a […]
